The New Face Of Epilog

Along with editor-in-chief, Tanya Wenman Steel, the well-known Epilog blog will soon have a star-studden roster of contributors.

Heading the list, will be one of my favorite Tex-Mex and Southwest fusion chefs, Rick Bayless, writing mainly on "chefly" topics, and Melissa Clark, who will be concentrating more on cookbooks and recipes. This well-rounded roster will also include Red, White, and Drunk All Over author Natalie McClean, who’ll be discussing...well, of course, the joys of alcohol.

With Amy Sherman, and Michael Y. Park on the Food News and Gossip beat, this new formatting should be, at best, as interesting and helpful as it will be entertaining.

And although I did appreciate the musings of Tanya Wenman Steel as the “Overcaffeinated Editor” (what she used to call herself at Epilog), I have to admit this revamping sounds totally fresh -- and inviting.
